It’s become a recent trend to hang out in coffee shops and drink cold brew ice latte’s, right? So if you’re one of those people then lucky for you, Dubai has a plethora of cool, aesthetic, modern coffee shops to fufill your dream of taking that ideal picture to complete your Instagram feed!
Tania’s Teahouse
Tania’s Teahouse is truly a visual paradise, the interior decor is all shades of baby pink, with pictures of Drake hanging up on the walls and other cliche but (cute) quotes. The food is super cute (be aware the portions are small) with anything from avo toast, to high tea, to little cakes and biscuits. The best part about this place which really makes it stand out from the ordinary aesthetic coffee shop, are the logos that they personalize on your drink of choice (be it a latte, cappuccino, ice coffee, milkshake (basically any drink on their menu). These logos range from various brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Adidas to cute little sayings and honestly whatever else you can think of! It’s super cute and makes for the best instagram picture! If you like pink, cookies, iced spanish latte’s and pretty things, than trust us this coffee shop is a must!

% Arabic
% Arabica specializes on what they know best: coffee, but you can also find a few sweet things to have with your coffee. With several locations around the city, you can find their flagship store in City Walk and the other three branches are located at The Dubai Mall, Emirates Mall and Mirdif Mall. The interior is very bright, the colours are all soft beige and the overall decor is minimal. The coffee is absolutely delicious so if you’re a true coffee fanatic, then you won’t be disappointed!

Myocum Dubai
Myocum was started by two Australian lads who moved to Dubai and missed a part of home, so they decided to open up their own Australian inspired coffee shop, named after the hinterlands of Byron Bay. For those of you who have been to Australia, you know that their coffee / brunch culture is huge! The ambience at this place is pure bliss and you definitely get a feel of the aussie lifestyle. You can find anything from breakfast, brunch, desert, sweet treats, tea, coffee, drinks, etc.

Drop Dubai
Drop Coffee also mainly serves coffee, but you’ll find a few random treats at the counter. The set up is very modern, minimal and filled with light wood and green plants. There’s cool magnetic chess sets that you can take with you from table to table and what makes this place stand apart from others is there’s technically no menu – the waitors come to your table and ask “how you like your coffee?”, and from there give you options of what they can make you. If you check out their instagram, you’ll see that they have a story highlights called cop or drop where they feature customers’ posts (the drop = the coffee & the cop = cool sneakers), so make sure you show up in your most hype beast sneaks and you might make it onto their story!
